Thanks.
That bushing works out great. When I run her, I'm going to climb up the prop size scale, starting with the Y535 (only because I bought it for this boat)
That turn fin was chosen because it had a bend in it. I hear from the nitro guys (&Dirtysouth) that a bent turn fin holds better in the turns.

Hey Steven, Could you move this thread to the "build" section? I started it before there was a "Build" section, I think it really belongs there.
Thank you!

Looks like I'll have to use the X642 prop first. There's a post on International Waters about the Miss Bud conversion, and I posted my progress there too. I was advised that the Y535 won't be big enough.

I had a cheap set of batteries made under the config I posted earlier (video) DIdn't wanna shell out a ton of $$ on'em if they won't work.

so heres some pix of my conversion of the miss vegas..diegboy inspired meand an extra shot of a future boater:D
Administrator
Same ESC, Same prop, Same voltage, Vegas is heavier. but your Vegas is still faster.
I was torn on my decision. I had cheap batteries made just to see if the weight in the nose would be a problem. (no problem) I had to choose. Better batts or the Ammo motor.
I chose the ammo motor first, just ordered it from OSE.
Dirty is running it, and I think it's the biggest reason his Vegas is faster (28mph on an X642)

Huh...
And I thought it had something to do with the SV motor @ 1800Kv and the Ammo @ 2300Kv.
and his 3800Mah batteries to my 1800Mah batteries.

Well thanks Saleens7 for the advice. I am going to do something about it anyway. SJFE made a suggestion to me about "Wetted Surfaces" and I'm going to improve it if I can.

One question.
Every time I run her, the motor is "cool" the ESC is "cool", but the batteries are "HOT" any reason for this? Is it because the packs suck? (batteries plus special).
Thanks

the batts you have probably arent rated for the # of amps the motor pulls from it...

Dirty's Vegas clocked 28mph on his GPS.
My Bud just clocked 37mph on his GPS today!
I got'cha Dirty!

Would have posted the video, but the passes were running away from the camera, then toward the camera. It didn't look much different than the first video. I'll have Dirty video it again from the side to have the pass go right to left next time.
